Saturday Post 443

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard !@ work plodding 2568 steps (ha, I'm just over 2.5 grand XD); secondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's '7 Reasons Not To Worry, Part 3'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Anchors For Your Soul (1)'  and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Good Congee' but fifthly and way most importantly, I'm really still owed ONE HOUR and THIRTEEN MINUTES online after I watch the 6pm news bulletin (Seven's) for the  154TH time!! Anyways, events for today?

• Woo hoo, 8th consecutive awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:15am and after one pot :P trip, I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh* Actually, since PIG mum’s overseas holidaying, I’m using the time to recharge my mental batteries and prepare for another year with her @ the helm! XD
• Pearl and I happily cuddle and snore, me waking again for the pot :P shortly after 9am just before dad makes himself heard upstairs. Soon, he's let himself into my room to gimme some eye goo and gimme fifteen more minutes and when he returned 2.5 minutes early, I screeched @ him to go away. XD Whilst counting down my fifteen more minutes, spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing on my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
